Trick or Treat! Today we received a very special trick-or-treater from our Monday gym:

Superb game and a super day today, once again. Many thanks to the wonderful people who come week after week to have fun, and appreciate the effort I put in in organizing these activities. It is a lot of work but it's all worth it when people, specially kids, come and play (and leave their couches and TVs, and iPods, and video games behind!).
This was arguably the most fun coach had all year long, in spite of being in severe pain (MRI coming). I - we - had never screamed and run so much. The rain never came (how can they get the weather forecast so wrong?), just a beautiful extremely fine soft mist at times, with gorgeous fall colors all around. Amazing warm temperatures for late in October, great for soccer, with some players in shorts and t-shirts. Off went the jackets after a few minutes.
Two matches were played today, with a plentiful show of goals: 10-4 for the grown-ups with little kids vs Fulminante boys, and then 2-2 mixing players up, 18 goals in total, non-stop action, running, and laughing. Two players scored 5 goals (including the coach :-).
Huge thanks to the players: you are the most dedicated, the most fun, the best. By coming you really show that you appreciate what we do. It is all free, but it's worth a lot, so your presence is much appreciated. The best things in life are free (and simple!).
Thoroughly enjoyable today! :-)

The master is back in Brazil. These are just moves he has done in the last couple of months!
Something to watch and savour, and watch in slow motion.

Record warm today, perfect for a long run on shorts and t-shirt. An interesting course today with a different perspective:

The blue line represents the timing, in mins/Km. The left side of the chart is Gustavo's running during the 3K EOXCC race. The right side is coach's running during the soccer game (lower is faster).

19 players today, with phenomenal weather!
Coach wore a GPS for about 40 minutes during the match: 3Km ran, all over the field.
Home of the nicest soccer players in Ottawa, the ones who work hard, show respect, always follow the rules, and play fair.
